Public education is not education ... it is schooling.
Our military is not defense ... it is warmongering and empire building.
Government police do not protect ... they control.
Regulations do not regulate ... they protect the status quo.
Government banks do not distribute money based on effort ... it is gifted to close friends ... and some of it trickles down.

The result is war, poverty, fear, chaos, and hopelessness for most people with abundance for a few elite.

The problem with bitcoin.... or A problem, is you have to be interested in it to use it. I saw a shirt for sale and was quite willing to buy it but they only took bitcoin and I don't know how to convert dollars to bitcoin and the shirt wasn't worth finding out. If people want to use them, they have to tell people how when they are selling something, imho.

Inspired by US Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, this site is dedicated to facilitating grassroots initiatives that aim to restore a sovereign limited constitutional Republic based on the rule of law, states' rights and individual rights. We seek to enshrine the original intent of our Founders to foster respect for private property, seek justice, provide opportunity, and to secure individual liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

This is known by many Bitcoin developers and the free market is slowly making it easier and easier. There is now a Bitcoin company that has jumped through the hoops in order to work at the same level as paypal and other payment services to the point that they will be able to issue credit cards and take bank deposits for Bitcoins.

Getting Bitcoins is as easy as going to one of the major banks and making a deposit.

The reason you cannot just enter your credit card information is because Bitcoin is real money. You could possibly buy a bunch of BTC with your credit card, spend the BTC then just report that your card had been stolen or that the transation was made in error. The credit card company would likely side with you and the guy who sold you his real money would be the one holding the bag.

Definition of political insanity: Voting for the same people expecting different results.

I used to be skeptical about bitcoins, thinking it was a silly idea; but after seeing its usage increase, I'm now thinking that it just might prevail. Just like other things involving technology or familiarization with a process, such as how to get onto the internet, getting an email account, using a smartphone, how to open and use a credit union account, how to pay online bills, how to take a commercial airline flight, how to drive, how to dial a number, etc., people will eventually figure out how to use bitcoin if it does indeed prevail in the long run.

I wish I had gotten in the BTC game already.. how much is one running these days? Last I checked it was $11+

The going rate on Darkweb a couple of days ago was $8.50, IIRC.
